Dubai airport, the world's busiest for international traffic, said on Saturday that it had suspended operations after an object was intercepted by air defence over the area. "For the safety of passengers, airport staff, and airline crew, operations at Dubai International (DXB) have been temporarily suspended. All procedures are being managed in line with established safety protocols," the government's Dubai Media Office said.
